Working with the Pattern Maker Filter
The Pattern Maker filter uses the image in the image window as the basis for a pattern. As you use the Pattern Maker, you can decide whether you want to use all or only a portion of the image. Also, as you use the filter, you can generate previews of patterns and quickly save any that you like in the Pattern picker.Open the image that you want to use as the basis for a pattern.For this example, I’m using the photograph of fabric shown in Figure 28-5.
Figure 28-5: I’m using this fabric to create some patterns.
Choose Filter>Pattern Maker.The Pattern Maker dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 28-6. Notice that the controls are on the right side, divided into three areas: Tile Generation, Preview, and Tile History.
Figure 28-6: In the Pattern Maker dialog box, the controls are on the right side.
Select the Rectangular Marquee tool at the upper-left corner of the dialog box.
In the Preview pane, drag to select the area of the image that you want to turn into a pattern.
In the Tile Generation area, enter a Width and Height for the tiles in pixels.If you want to use the size of the image as the tile size, click Use Image Size.
Choose an Offset setting from the drop-down list and use the Amount slider to set how much the pattern tiles are offset.None leaves the pattern tiles lined up in a grid. Horizontal shifts every other row horizontally as specified by the Amount setting. For instance, a Horizontal shift with a 50% Amount setting moves every other row to the right the width of half a tile. Vertical shifts every other column vertically down the specified Amount setting.
If you want to see where the tiles’ edges are in the pattern, enable the Tile Boundaries check box in the Preview area.This option shows the tile boundaries only while you’re working in the Pattern Maker dialog box. The boundaries don’t show when you save the pattern.
Click Generate.Pattern Maker goes to work creating the first tile preview, as shown in Figure 28-7. If you don’t like the pattern, click Generate again to see another rendering.
Figure 28-7: The rendered pattern appears in the Preview pane.
To save a pattern rendering that you like, click the tiny Save Preset Pattern at the lower left of the Tile History area. (The button looks like a floppy disk.)
When you finish generating and saving patterns, either click OK to fill the image window with the pattern currently in the Preview pane, or click Cancel to close the Pattern Maker dialog box without applying the pattern to the image window.
